Im flying over to sydney mid november (12th) for a year travelling australia,the main incentive is the rugby league and obviously to see the country.
hoping to get to all the origin games being may 26th, june 16th and july 7th,does anyone no how far in advance i would have to get hold of a ticket and around how much they will cost? after sydney flying to cairns then treking my way down the coast eventually to adelaide.
also looking at watching a few NRL games along the way first match on the 12th of march i think.Im a wakefield trinity fan btw,should be a real adventure. any help would be appreciated.

PM me next year if you want to go to some sydney games.

origin costs from $25 - $160 for adult tickets.

tickets go on sale around 2 months before but for brisbane sell out in hours

perhaps if you want in advance pay a bit more and get them from a tour group

try and go to the traditional sydney grounds in leichhardt, kogarah and brookvale oval, especially if its 2 sydney teams playing each other

thanks for the help,im looking at paying around the same as over here then.will be staying in most major towns and cities like cairns townsville so should see a decent amount of games.

Good luck getting a ticket to the Brisbane game.

Also, try to plan to hit North QLD around the November/December period and see the Whitsundays/Reef.

A Wakey fan?


Well, Kings Cross in Sydney, you're gonna wanna find a tall girl with a big adams apple and a low voice I'd reckon.

are you just doing the east coast? are you planning on going to the test match in early may?

At the moment just the east coast down to adelaide but that could be an option.what date would that land on btw?cheers

its was fri the 8th this year, but i'm not sure if they rotate it between aus and nz though but they played the city v county on the same night.

victoria and south australia get pretty cold in the winter (jun till aug) so if you like sun you might want to plan it better.

mate, anything you need to know regards travelling just drop me a pm, as i travelled australia twice, new zealand and fiji(if ya get that far).....once back-packing and once in hotels, so i know all the tricks of the trade etc.. been to origin and nrl games so any information you require i can tell ya...no worries

fook me, ive always wanted to do something like that, just never had the clue how to do it, i might have to drop ya a line.
One quick question, dya need to have a blood test to do 12 months? I know you dont for 6 months but I faint anywhere near needles, tattoo needles no, standard injections no but blood needles..bleurgghh feel sick talkin about it!

no

why come to adelaide... we dont do league

my aussie mates told me it has natutal remedies

No NRL in Cairns, but if you get the chance [ido[/i give the QLD Cup a go. Obviously not NRL standard (or SuperLeague) but it's well in advance of the Championship and you'll get to see some stars of the future. Similarly, the Toyota Cup (under 20s).

Go to a reputable sports tourism agency well in advance to get your Brisbane Origin tickets, they sell out in under half an hour.
